“…Oh? There’s actually someone who dares doubt me?” said Master Crawford as favonovel.com squinted his eyes at the direction where Gerald and the others were.
At the same time, many of the people in the large hall were staring at Gerald with bewildered gazes. After all, saying such a thing was akin to Gerald courting death!
Gerald himself could only display a bitter smile. Since things had already gotten to such a state, there was no point in beating around the bush anymore. With that in mind, favonovel.com decided that it’d be better for favonovel.com to just straightforwardly reveal his true thoughts.
“Indeed. Regardless, you’ll have to forgive me for being rather blunt, but your remarkable skills… They’re honestly nothing but simple tricks that barely have any functions at all, Master Crawford!” replied Gerald.
The second his sentence ended, a huge ruckus instantly erupted! For a person to doubt the master like that… He truly was asking for death!
Master Crawford himself now felt his eyelids twitching slightly. To think that favonovel.com was being humiliated in public, and during his disciple selecting process, no less!
Watching as Master Crawford slowly stood up, Perla—who had been standing quietly at the side for a while—excitedly said, “Look! Master Crawford’s about to demonstrate his power!”
While favonovel.com had to admit that the strange, young man was much stronger than her, in the end, favonovel.com looked to only be around the same age as her. With that in mind, favonovel.com wasn’t convinced that Gerald deserved the respect that favonovel.com grandfather was giving to him, and favonovel.com hoped that once Master Crawford was done with him, favonovel.com grandfather would share favonovel.com sentiment.
Regardless, Master Crawford’s actions had caught the full attention of several people by this point.
“Who even is this mad person? How dare favonovel.com doubt Master Crawford!”
“I know, right? How undaunted! Someone like favonovel.com will only come to regret things when he’s close to dying!”
The scowls had come from a few old men who couldn’t bear seeing Master Crawford get humiliated.
As the old men continued bombarding favonovel.com with scowls, Master Crawford himself simply narrowed his eyes before shaking his head and saying, “I won’t make things too difficult for you, young man. Just kneel before me with your forehead against the ground. Once you admit to your mistake, I’ll allow you to leave the hill unscathed!”
“You truly are the bigger man for being so forgiving, but I feel you should still teach this guy a lesson, master!” shouted someone from within the crowd.
“Is there a need to admit to a mistake if what I said was the truth? Look, the only true master of this church is the previous one. With that said, I dislike the notion of you being here since all you’re doing is humiliating Langvern!” replied Gerald casually.
“How utterly imprudent! It seems like you’ll truly remain undaunted till I teach you a proper lesson! I hope you realize that you’ve only made things more difficult for yourself! With that said, you’re only allowed to leave if you roll down the hill!” growled the furious Master Crawford as favonovel.com raised his right hand.
Out of nowhere, a compass—with a golden dragon engraved on it—appeared on his hand, and the second it did, Master Crawford instantly began reciting a chant. Once favonovel.com was done, favonovel.com muttered an order… and just like that, the entire hall began trembling despite the lack of any strong winds!
‘By god!’ Thought everyone within the hall as they watched the tables and chairs shake wildly!
Even the old men from before were terrified, and with eyes reddened with shock, one of them quickly shouted, “You ignorant child! You’ve truly offended the master now! Hurry and kneel already!”
Terrance and the others—who had been standing at the side—were similarly frightened half to death by Master Crawford’s skill, and they were all dripping beads of cold sweat for Gerald.
Gerald himself, however, simply shook his head with a bitter smile as favonovel.com said, “Is that all, Master Crawford?”
By that point, Master Crawford’s forehead was drenched with sweat. Though favonovel.com wanted to create even more mayhem, no matter how much favonovel.com tried, favonovel.com couldn’t seem to increase the intensity of all the shaking by much.
After staring at favonovel.com for a bit longer, Gerald then shook his head before asking, “Is this what you’re trying to achieve?”
With a gentle wave, the compass—that had been in Master Crawford’s grasp—instantly flew into Gerald’s hand!
The compass now in his hands, Gerald began murmuring a barely audible chant…
Before anyone could realize what was happening, an explosive sound was heard as the compass emitted a blinding light that painted the entire hall in a golden glow!
As if all that wasn’t already shocking enough, an inhuman roar was soon heard, and everyone stared wide-eyed as a faint, but large golden dragon momentarily appeared above the compass!
Screams filled the area as a twister showed up out of nowhere as well! What a dramatic change!
